I remember flying out of EWR on a Friday night, honestly not on CO but on LH ^ and we had to wait for 22 planes to take off plus whoever was coming in at nearly 11 p.m. at night. 80% of that traffic was CO Express on RJs. It's just bad that they are holding back and delaying so much "real" traffic.

A further point is that an airport the seize of EWR needs a "real" third runway...
